Research Themes
GeoVisual Analytics: To cope with increasing geospatial data profusion one focus for our research is to integrate visual, statistical, and computational methods for representation, analysis and knowledge construction using highly multivariate geospatial information.

Geocollaboration: To support group work with geospatial information, we are addressing the technical and human issues underling technology to facilitate group work and developing the semantic frameworks necessary to integrate data generated by multiple organizations.

Human interaction with geospatial information: Our goal here is to develop new methods and tools for interacting with geospatial information that enable both domain experts and the public more generally to use geospatial information effectively.

Decision support and risk management: Our work here leverages our basic research in the other three areas to develop methods and tools that are particularly relevant to using geospatial information for decision support and risk management.
